High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Feast of Orthodoxy is celebrated on the first Sunday of Great Lent (six Sundays before Pascha) in the liturgical calendar of the Eastern Orthodox Church and Greek-Catholics (Eastern Catholics of Byzantine rite). The Feast is kept in memory of the final defeat of Iconoclasm and the restoration of the icons to the churches. The name of this Sunday reflects the great significance which icons possess for the Orthodox Church. They are not optional devotional extras, but an integral part of Orthodox faith and devotion. The debate involved important issues: the character of Christ's human nature, the Christian attitude towards matter, and the true meaning of Christian redemption. Icons are held by...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Felix Manz (c. 1498 – 5 January 1527) was a co-founder of the original Swiss Brethren Anabaptist congregation in Zurich, Switzerland, and the first martyr of the Radical Reformation. On 7 March 1526, the Zurich council had passed an edict that made adult re-baptism punishable by drowning. On 5 January 1527, Felix Manz became the first casualty of the edict, and the first Swiss Anabaptist to be martyred at the hands of other Protestants. While Manz stated that he wished "to bring together those who were willing to accept Christ, obey the Word, and follow in His footsteps, to unite with these by baptism, and to leave the rest in their present conviction", Zwingli and the council accused him of...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A fetish (from the French fetiche; which comes from the Portuguese feitico; and this in turn from Latin facticius, "artificial" and facere, "to make") is an object believed to have supernatural powers, or in particular, a man-made object that has power over others. Essentially, fetishism is the attribution of inherent value or powers to an object. Initially, the concept of fetishism was used by the Portuguese to refer to the objects used in religious cults by the West African natives. The concept was made known in Europe by Charles de Brosses circa 1757, while comparing West African religion to the magical aspects of Ancient Egyptian religion. Later, Auguste Comte used the concept to apply an...

Le fief etait durant l'epoque feodale une tenure concedee a un vassal, a la charge de la foi et hommage et, eventuellement, de quelques autres devoirs envers son seigneur. Cette pratique s'est developpee au Moyen Age suite a l'eclatement de l'Empire carolingien, et a ensuite preside a l'etablissement d'une aristocratie fonciere. Le mot, sans doute d'origine germanique (vieh, betail, bien d'importance), est apparu dans le Midi a la fin du IXe siecle (fevum), avec peut-etre une confusion avec le mot fiscum (qui designe a l'epoque carolingienne les grands domaines royaux), et une filiation avec beneficium, ce qui evoquerait l'origine « publique » du fief meridional (le beneficium designe la...

Meaningful pastoral actions, according to Donald Capps, are "actions that leave their mark, have unintended consequences, disclose a world, and are always open to reinterpretation." So, in the midst of suffering, pastoral ministers have to continue engaging in meaningful positive actions without worrying about their effects or consequences. Their actions will leave marks in the afflicted, transcend their intentions and world and will always be open to new interpretations. In a sense, what becomes of a meaningful pastoral action is a mystery which goes beyond the expectations of the minister. I think I have now, by God's help, discharged my obligation in writing this [book]. Let those who think I have said too little, or those who think I...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The First Epistle of Clement, is a letter addressed to the Christians in the city of Corinth. The letter dates from the late first or early second century, and ranks with Didache and the Gospel of Thomas as one of the earliest — if not the earliest — of extant Christian documents outside the canonical New Testament. As the name indicates, also a Second Epistle of Clement is known, but this is a later work, not by the same author. The letter was occasioned by a dispute in Corinth, which had led to the removal from office of several presbyters. Since none of the presbyters was charged with moral offences, Clement charged that their removal was high-handed and unjustifiable. The letter was...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Five Articles of Remonstrance were given by followers of Jacobus Arminius, who did not want to adopt Arminius' name, instead choosing to call themselves the "Remonstrants". The Five Articles of Remonstrance contrast with the Five Points of Calvinism on most points. Article I disagrees that election into Christ is unconditional. Rather, in this article the Remonstrants assert that election is conditional upon faith in Christ, and that God elects to salvation those He knows beforehand will have faith in Him. Article II espouses unlimited atonement, the concept that Christ died for all. This stands in contrast to the limited atonement of Calvinism, which asserts that Christ only died for those...

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In ancient Roman religion, the Flamen Quirinalis was the flamen devoted to the cult of god Quirinus. He is one of the three flamines majores, last in order of importance after the Flamen Dialis and the Flamen Martialis. The functions of flamines were restricted to acts of cult concerning or related directly to their god. The theology of Quirinus is complex and difficult to interpret, mainly because since very early times he was identified with the deified Romulus. The figure of Romulus originally seems to have shared some common theological and mythological elements with Quirinus in the interpretation of Dumezil...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In ancient Roman religion, the Flamen Dialis was the high priest of Jupiter. There were 15 flamines, of which three were flamines maiores, serving the three gods of the Archaic Triad. According to tradition the flamines were forbidden to touch metal, ride a horse, or see a corpse. The office of Flamen Dialis, and the offices of the other flamines maiores, were created by Numa Pompilius, second king of Rome, although Numa himself performed many of the rites of the flamen dialis.

This work explores the contribution of the thought of Luce Irigaray to the theological conversation, at the heart of which is the desire to create and nourish a culture in which difference is not simply tolerated, but celebrated; in which the other is approached as an autonomous and independent source of their own self understanding. However, we cannot hope to deal justly with the other in our midst without considering the most basic of differences by which human society is structured, namely, sexual difference? Neither can we create a culture of difference without a careful consideration of religion. Turning to the Catholic tradition Irigaray finds “two key principles: an incarnational relationship between the body and the word, a...

As the original document was written in German, a Latin translation was prepared for the Latin edition of the Book of Concord published in 1584. Данное издание не является...

The film Forrest Gump was a Hollywood blockbuster in the 1990's. In this movie we are drawn to sympathize with the feather-like lightness of being found in the main character as he interacts with some of the popular formational events in the USA during the last half of the 20th century. His innocent interactions with these events bring about surprising and transformative changes to the times as well as to himself. However, Gump's lite redemptive power works out better for himself than for those around him. This book brings a postmodern theological criticism to Forrest Gump using emerging film and liberation theologies. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по...
